This early work is a fascinating read for any gardening enthusiast
or historian, but contains much information that is still useful
and practical today. It is a thoroughly recommended title for the
amateur or professional arborist or horticulturalist's shelf. Its
130 pages contain 50 full page plates. Contents Include:
Introduction; A General Survey; The Apple; The Apple-Pruning the
Young Trees; The Apple-Maintenance, Thinning, Storing and Mating;
The Apple-Insect Pests; The Apple-Diseases; The Pear; The
Pear-Pests and Diseases; The Plum; The Plum-Pests and Diseases; The
Cherry; The Cherry-Pests and Diseases; The Apricot; The Black
Currant; The Red and White Currants; The Gooseberry; The Raspberry;
Miscellaneous Fruits; The Strawberry; The Strawberry-Pets and
Diseases; The Grape Vine; The Peach and Nectarine; The Fig; and
Propagation. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
